    Hi Ian,

     

    The feature is still rolling out. You'll see it soon as a X button in the top left of the preview pane.

Ah, I see! Thanks for clarifying that for me, JohnTheGeek. 

When you preview a file, are you able to click on the X mark that should be on the top left corner of the preview? 

Let me know of any updates!

That X disappeared in a recent update. That’s my whole frustration.

    I feell ya, same here. Wasted space. Often I need to see the whole filename. Now many of the filenames are truncated. Would be important they bring it back.

      Thanks for checking that for me JohnTheGeek and thanks for contributing to this discussion m-go! 

      I've moved this thread here where other users describe the same experience. 

      As Walter and Fiona also mention, our team is aware and looking into this for you. 

      Thanks for your reports and feedback, peeps! :slight_smile:

      I can’t understand why it cannot be fixed for so long.
